| Does Hirst Hurt? | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | room606/A | General discussion | |
| ... machinery and industry interdependency around DH notwithstanding, what is the problem with the design area? Why is it still the illegitimate downs cousin of art? And is all this cash spent on contemporary art diminishing the capacity or interest around collectors taking design seriously enough to participate in a similar outing in the design sector? Are all the best minds of our generation focused on comtemporary art? Is a wonderful nakashima table just a snorting pug dog to these people, or is design just too distilled at this point to be so properly packa ... | |||||

| ... water damage seemed to have a thick layer of stain as their first coat (which unevenly absorbed into the beech). And then over that a thick layer of clear finish was added. It is possible that the first layer could have been an aniline dye and then a thick stain; I don't know. But basically the lower colored layer was thick enough that it was semi-opaque and covered over the wood uniformly diminishing the natural appearance of the wood (and especially the rays). You should also bear in mind that these finishes change color over decades as UV light burns ... | |||||

| ... increase due to higher level and rising rent per square foot as total square feet shrinks. Oh, the feasibility analysts and appraisers forecast optimistically that everyone will pay through the nose for the top floors, but these forecasts eventually confront the cold cruel world of rental bargaining and fall short. This makes the aesthetic beauty of pyramidal and tetrahedral structures with diminishing floor sizes on the vertical vector harder to afford. One final remark I cannot help but make is that the building appears glass skinned. Because there are no ... | |||||
| I believe there is absolutely a place in modern design | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Big Television Man | General discussion | |
| I believe there is absolutely a place in modern design for utilizing the ready made concept. The combination of similar or even disparate objects that come together to form some new third object (Duchamps ready made urinal, notwithstanding). The only problem I might foresee are issues of licensing the various objects and getting several different manufactures and then by default several different corporate entities to come together and recognize the value of a particular combination without diminishing their particular piece of the puzzle or combination that ... | |||||
| I don't know what IS going on the cutting edge of kitchen... | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| ... fix prepared foods; b) fix a combo of prepared foods and scratch cooking (i.e, cooking from scratch); and c) fix entirely scratch cooking. Everything in the kitchen including the kitchen room itself ought to be reprogrammed around these three tasks IMHO. For example, the kitchen could be sliced into two zones: prepared and scratch cooking. Everything in the prepared zone should be designed to facilitate speed and quickness of preparation, serving, disposal and clean up. The PREPARED ZONE should have its own small fridge/freezer for prepared foods and packag ... | |||||

The great temple of Borobudur (in central Java) is a single immense object, a squat and round-shouldered pyramid with five lower tiers, each a stepped- ... | |||||

| Good call, Brow. I think you are in Europe and I don't know how easily available oxalic acid is there, but it is often effective for diminishing or eliminating weathering stains (which I consider to be damage in this case) without changing the natural color of wood. It's relatively safe, easy to use, and inexpensive, too. Worth a try if those dark marks bother you. Good chairs, BTW. Bon chance, stay healthy, and keep us posted with results! | |||||

| ... Canadian average down...I also know why Austria would be this high on the list. It has nothing to do with the length of the lederhosen and the ease with which the average Austrian can get out of them. Anybody that has visited Austria knows the legendary comfort of their beds (in keeping with the subject of this forum: design)Not only are they soft, the softness caresses your resting body while a warm cloud-like cover hovers over you in gravity defiant lightness.

| ... garde in his profession usurped his leadership, marginalized his preferences and beat him out of commissions. Is it surprising that FLW would persist in these preferences, these flourishes, given that this sort of behavior had been how he had apparently distinguished himself to some degree, and so curried favor with his mother, apparently in a way his father never could? I also always think there is something to be learned about a person, especially a professional, from the way a person dresses. It is not always a simple message. It is not always obvious.

I started off at the DWR showroom, but everything was so small and awkward (at 6' I'm not exactly a giant, but so much of their inventory seems so diminutive). I decided to eschew appearances and keep the La-Z-Boy in the den, even if it is not a design marvel or recognized masterpiece. After all, it sure is comfortable. | |||||

| Spanky, You are a godsend. Let me know what your dealer friend says, I will be extremely appreciative. I did some light rubbing with amish wood milk and steel wool to dimish most of the heat marks. May need a second attempt with it to get rid of them completelty. I don't think I'm going to need a full refinish (crosses fingers). Thanks again | |||||
